Abstract	Findings of a study that examined the nature of moral and ethical conflict and accommodation within the schools are presented in this paper, which introduces the conceptual framework of a larger empirical study in progress. The study attempted to: (1) describe the ethical conflict and moral dilemmas faced by teachers and principals; and (2) investigate individuals' actions and beliefs to determine whether an awareness of personal value issues exists. Interviews were conducted with a total of 30 respondents: 5 elementary and 5 secondary principals, and 10 elementary and 10 secondary teachers. Findings indicate that for teachers, professional, collegial loyalty was a dominant measure of moral/ethical action. A conclusion is that individual moral codes often conflict with the entrenched ethical dimensions of the school culture and that conflicts and implicitly valuational resolutions can be expected.
